A few updates to the '94 Litespeed Tachyon. Lizard Skins tape, Flite, Stan's Alpha 340 rim/Dura Ace hub wheelset, Vittoria Corsa clinchers. These rims are insanely light for alloy. This'll be my road/crit race bike next year.

Finally completed my 1985 Trek 760 resto mod build. Full Ultegra 11sp 6800 group and wheels, custom Fizik Antares saddle, Soma HWY 1 and soma stem/ seat post, and a Chris King headset. I sourced the frame in the color you see here and had a friend add some small details to it. Then picked up accessories in celeste as I love the color and it went incredibly well with the frame and groupset colors. These are just cell pics, need to get it out for a real shoot. The ride is great, as would be expected from a 531 frame/fork. Not sure about the tires...they are already looking a bit rough after a short ride. This will not just be piece of wall art, it will indeed be ridden, though only in fair weather.

Beautiful. That's some radavist-level work there. If that thing rides as well as it looks then it's a fantastic ride.

Just an updated shot of my '87 Black Lightning. I took it on a fast 25 mile lunch ride today. The Criterium geometry plus the 11 speed Shimano groupset make for a speedy ride.

Just convinced a good friend who wanted to get into road cycling to buy a local CL bike. A Dave Scott Triathlon, in red/white. He picked it up, shot some WD on it, then some 3 in 1 oil, and we went on a 25 mile ride. It needs a little love, but I think I have him hooked on old bikes. He's saving up for STI. A local has a 9 speed 105 Shifter set for cheap, he may buy and I can install for him. Need to figure out some way to drop the gear ratio for him a bit. If we go 9 speed, I may simply "hill jack" an 8 speed w/9 speed spacing, and go with a bigger ratio than stock for that bike. I have a new 12-28 I could cut up and go 14-28 8 speed on the 7 speed hub? Did some homework on this when I was going to do it on my Miyata, but ended up widening the frame and going 8 speed on new wheels. We will see where it goes.

if you want an easy hill jack just get a mtb cassette and RD- instant hill bike. I have 34t on the rear of my 9 speed dave scott!

@liquefied I thought the same thing. They do detract from the overall appearance, especially the red. What is the best way of removing them?

My recently completed DeRosa Professional -- '87 or '88ish --
built with a modern Thomson cockpit and 46c Salsa Cowbell bars (a fellow riding buddy said I "ruined it" with those --- LOL )
Running gear is mostly NOS Campy 10 speed with new production Veloce shifters, --- the crankset was used, but is a tough to find square taper compact 50/34 model --- wheels are new take offs from some kind of Felt heritage edition bike that was being parted out, with a Campy 12-26 cassette and Grand PRix tires - 25c is about the biggest that will fit the rear triangle-- I'm using parts from a couple different eras, but everything works together beautifully
Its fun to ride a vintage bike with wide gearing equivalent to my late model machine
